Chef York makes this bread at least once a week. His 7-year-old daughter loves to help.
7/8 cup water
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon soy flour, see note
2 tablespoons wheat germ
1 tablespoon powdered milk
3 tablespoons whole wheat flour
2 cups unbleached white flour
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast
Bloom the yeast in lukewarm water with honey for 10 minutes. Add oil and all dry ingredients (add salt last).
Knead bread for 10 minutes by hand or in mixer. Let rest for 1 hour. Punch dough down and knead for additional 5 minutes. Place in loaf pan. Let rise until double in size (about 11/2 hours).
Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour. Makes one loaf.
Note: If you can't find soy flour at your supermarket, it can be found at health food stores.
